#How to get the cheapest airfare every time

How to get the cheapest plane tickets possible in 10 easy steps, from search engines and major airlines to bidding sites, consolidator fares, vacation packages, last-minute deals, and travel bargain newsletters

We'll get to the whole 10-Step bit in just a minute. First, links to the answers to the two Big Questions.

So, How Do I Find the Cheapest Airfare?

Ah, the heart of the matter. Remember that old travel truism: no two people flying in the cheap seats actually paid the same price for their tickets, even though they're going to the same place and getting the same service.

Reid's shortcut to the best fares

All of the airfare hunting techniques mentioned on this site have merit, but, honestly, if I had to narrow it down to three crucial places to check, they would be:

1) The aggregator Momondo

2) The consolidator AutoEurope

#How Do Airlines Set Prices?

There's a lot more to flight pricing than meets the eye. In this article, we take a look at fare buckets, fare rules, codeshares, consolidated fares, best days of the week, and everything you need to know to find the absolute cheapest flights. Read on for the ultimate inside scoop written by experts.

Looking for flights can be great fun, especially when you land a good deal. But sometimes it’s rather frustrating. You spend hours on the internet, trying different websites, but reasonable fares are nowhere to be found. Instead, you see prices which are double what you’ve paid before, or you remember a friend just bought that flight for hundreds less.

The basics

The price of your ticket consists of a number of things.

• Base fare

#Holidays to Spain

Airport parking

Compare the best Spain holidays

Why go?

Spain is a country of many faces and offers up numerous holiday options whether you are looking for a culture-filled short break or a two-week spell in the sun.

And one factor that makes the country so appealing is the Spaniards' passionate love for life; it can be seen during the many fiestas held throughout the year and every day in the bars, restaurants and clubs.

Barcelona is a great choice for lovers of culture as the city has world-class museums, winding alleys and stunning architecture - including Gaudi's spectacular Sagrada Fam lia. If sightseeing gets too tiring, the city's 4km of beach, tempting shops and selection of restaurants offer plenty of opportunities to unwind too.

#Hotels in Paris

If your Parisian fantasy involves romantic evenings in a historic hotel, awaking to the aroma of freshly baked croissants and café au lait, here’s some good news: you need not be French aristocracy to make your dreams come true. With more than 2,000 hotels, the City of Light gives visitors stylish options in all price ranges, and a place with historic charm is practically a given. In

terms of location and price, there are more hotels on the Rive Droite (the Right Bank) offering formal luxury with premium service than on the Rive Gauche (the Left Bank), where the hotels are frequently smaller and richer in old-fashioned charm. The Rive Droite’s 1er, 8e, and 16e arrondissements are still the most exclusive, and the prices there reflect that. Some of these palatial hotels charge more than €750 a night for standard rooms. Due to ongoing renovations at three major landmark luxury hotels, the Hôtel Ritz, Hôtel de Crillon, and Hôtel Plaza Athénée, oth ... Read more »

#Expedia Inc acquires Travelocity in $280 million deal

Expedia Inc acquires Travelocity in $280 million deal

Fri, Jan 23 15:34 PM EST

By Jeffrey Dastin

(Reuters) - Expedia Inc (EXPE.O ) has acquired online travel agency Travelocity from technology company Sabre Corp (SABR.O ) for $280 million in cash, the companies said in a statement on Friday, as consolidation in the online booking industry continues.

The deal follows a 2013 marketing agreement in which Expedia Inc's technology powered platforms for Travelocity's U.S. and Canadian websites, while Travelocity drove additional web traffic to Expedia.

The merger marks further consolidation in the online booking space, which has seen a number of acquisitions from Expedia Inc's main competitor, The Priceline Group (PCLN.O ), including its $2.6 billion takeover of restaurant reservation website OpenTable last year.

#Health in Maldives - Lonely Planet

The Maldives is not a dangerous destination, with few poisonous animals and – by regional standards – excellent health care and hygiene awareness. Staying healthy here is mainly about being sensible and careful.

Environmental Hazards

Most of the potential danger (you have to be extremely unlucky or very foolhardy to actually get hurt) lies under the sea.

Anemones

These colourful creatures are poisonous, and putting your hand into one can give you a painful sting. If stung, consult a doctor as quickly as possible; the usual procedure is to soak the sting in vinegar.

Coral Cuts & Stings

Coral is sharp stuff and brushing up against it is likely to cause a cut or abrasion. Most corals contain poisons and you’re likely to get some in any wound, along with tiny grains of broken coral. The result is that a small cut can take a long time to heal. Wash any coral cuts very thoroughly with fresh water ... Read more »
